Liang Huanqing glanced at Lu Huiling, did not speak, turned to look at Xia Rongxin, nodded and said, "Jiang Yi... Committed suicide. ”

As she spoke, she bent her knees and hugged the quilt, buried her head in her knees, and whimpered and cried.

Liang Huanqing thought of Jiang Yi's appearance before she died, she was still so young, more than ten years old, she wanted to excuse Liang Huanqing and voluntarily gave up her life, just to save her master.

Qi Wangshu couldn't help but ask anxiously, "How could Jiang Yi commit suicide?" She is so cheerful and optimistic, as long as I bring my mother here, you will definitely come out alive, why did she commit suicide? ”

Xia Rongxin's eyes became more and more gloomy, in this way, Liang Huanqing was convicted of beating Lu Huiling, but Lu Huiling was at most provocative, and did not really pose a threat to Jiang Yi's life, it seems that the emperor will still favor Lu Huiling to calm down.

Liang Huanqing cried and shook his head and said, "It's Lu Huiling... It's Lu Huiling..."

Hearing her whimpering and crying accusations against Lu Huiling, the hearts of everyone present rose.

"You talk nonsense! I never left the main hall at all! I haven't been to the side hall either! How to kill Jiang Yi?! You just said that Jiang Yi committed suicide! Why do you have to change your words now?! Lu Huiling hurriedly pointed at Liang Huanqing and reprimanded, she turned to look at Qi Bingyu, "Your Majesty, there are really no concubines!" ”

Now Lu Huiling is really panicked, she is not worried that others will misunderstand her, but she really didn't do this matter, she is afraid that Qi Bingyu will change her opinion.

"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, we are all here, you speak slowly." Xia Rongxin heard that Liang Huanqing said that it was Lu Huiling, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, wanting her to say it.

Liang Huanqing raised his head and looked at Lu Huiling, and said with red eyes: "Lu Huiling asked people to come to the side hall to force Jiang Yi to death, if Jiang Yi didn't comply, he would kill me, and Jiang Yi died in the side hall in order to save me..."

"I didn't! Concubines don't! Your Majesty, there are really no concubines! Lu Huiling was so frightened that he knelt beside Qi Bingyu and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, you have to believe in the concubines, the concubines really don't have them." Liang Huanqing said that these are completely groundless, the concubine just said that she did not kill Jiang Yi, naturally she wants to make sure that Jiang Yi is alive and well, so she can say that, the concubine has no reason to kill her! ”

"You said at the beginning that you would break Jiang Yi's body into thousands of pieces and throw him into a mass grave, you said this kind of thing, why won't you force Jiang Yi to death!" Xia Rongxin stood up and pointed at Lu Huiling and reprimanded, "This palace thinks, you must have some misunderstanding with Princess Jing, and you deliberately want to do this, I want to embarrass Princess Jing and let the person she wants to save die in front of you, so as to satisfy the pleasure in your heart!" ”

"No concubines!" Lu Huiling tugged at the corner of Qi Bingyu's clothes, looked up at Qi Bingyu, and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense, the concubines really don't have any!" ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xia Rongxin and said, "Mei Guifei Niangniang just looks at the concubine unpleasantly and wants to get rid of the concubine!" There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! Niangniang detained such charges on the head of the concubine, I am afraid that Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by! ”

After Lu Huiling finished speaking, these were not enough, and he pointed to Liang Huanqing and said: "Since Princess Jing said that the palace sent someone to force Jiang Yi to death, then you can identify who it is!" This palace lets everyone in Minghuatang stand in front of you! You make it clear who it really is!

This palace knows that it is wrong to detain the princess and her maidservants without permission, but Princess Jing, you can't just wronged the palace without evidence! This palace admits corporal punishment of Jiang Yi and also imprisons you, this is the fault of this palace This palace admits it, but you want to blame Jiang Yi's death on this palace, this palace has not done it, and I refuse to admit it! ”

Qi Wangshu was worried that Lu Huiling would come forward to attack Liang Huanqing, so he blocked in front of Liang Huanqing and hugged her, Liang Huanqing shrank in Qi Wangshu's arms and sobbed, she pointed at Lu Huiling and said: "It's you who forced Jiang Yi to death, it's you, Jiang Yi was killed by you..."

"Jiang Yi is clearly committing suicide! How could I have killed it! Don't talk nonsense! Lu Huiling stood up anxiously and walked towards Liang Huanqing, and when he walked in front of her, he stretched out his hand to pull her, "You give me a good look in the side hall!" There are clearly impact marks on the wall, and Jiang Yi obviously committed suicide! It has nothing to do with Hongu! ”

In the end, Lu Huiling was a little hysterical.

"Don't touch her!" Qi Wangshu pushed Lu Huiling away, and Qingyin also blocked in front of them, not letting Lu Huiling get close to them.

"If Jiang Yi doesn't die, you will kill me, and you will use me to threaten Jiang Yi to make her commit suicide!" Liang Huanqing pointed at Lu Huiling and cried and said, "You didn't want Jiang Yi to live when you captured her from the beginning, you just took revenge on me for what happened before!" ”

Lu Huiling's expression changed greatly when she heard this, she was worried that Liang Huanqing would tell her secret, she liked Qi Jingqin's secret.

"Enough!" Qi Bingyu scolded angrily, looking at their chaotic appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Since it is not clear why Jiang Yi committed suicide, then this matter will be like this!" For the sake of a maid, several masters are like this, what kind of system! ”

When Lu Huiling heard this, she quickly knelt down again, she felt at ease in her heart, Qi Bingyu was still biased towards her side in the end, worried that Liang Huanqing and the others would embarrass Lu Huiling again, so she spoke out and calmed down.

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity that Jiang Yi died, but Princess Jing was still a little frightened because of this incident, this will always be Concubine Ming's fault, if you don't punish it, how can you calm the anger of the people." Xia Rongxin saw that Qi Bingyu was about to exonerate Lu Huiling again, and she couldn't help but feel a little unwilling in her heart.

"Why is the anger of the people?!" Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin and questioned.

Seeing that the emperor said so, who would dare to say more?

"Father!" Qi Wangshu stood up, walked to Qi Bingyu and knelt down, "Erchen is dissatisfied!" ”

"Why are you dissatisfied!" Qi Bingyu asked with a frown.

"It is said that the state has national laws and family rules, and there are no rules, since this matter is at fault with Concubine Ming, Princess Jing is the victim, and the two are punished and appeased, and they must be handled properly. Jiang Yi, as the princess's honor guard female official, how could she die in Minghuatang for no reason? Qi Wangshu raised his head and looked directly into Qi Bingyu's eyes and said.

Qi Wangshu has never been afraid of these, she is the only princess, one of the few royal nobles, and the emperor's own flesh and blood, even if she is ignored, but the fact that she is a princess cannot be changed, which is why she never beats around the bush and speaks.

Qi Bingyu looked at Qi Wangshu and was silent for a long time, but Qi Wangshu also kept watching Qi Bingyu's eyes compete with each other, Qi Wangshu was not afraid of danger, she was stubborn and refused to give in.

In the end, Qi Bingyu still took a step back, he said: "The state has national laws and family rules, and there are no rules. In this case, the concubine Ming was confined in Minghua Hall for one month for reflection, and fined for one month, without my permission, she was not allowed to leave Minghua Hall for half a step! Bestow the Jingwang Mansion with jewels and gems, 10,000 taels of gold, to show appeasement. In addition, Jiang Yi was buried with a first-class female official etiquette system to show appeasement. ”

Lu Huiling thought that this was also excellent, so he knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Although Qi Wangshu was not satisfied with her father's approach, she finally got some rewards for Liang Huanqing, so that she would not suffer such a big grievance for no reason, she turned around and wanted to help Liang Huanqing get up and thank her.

Liang Huanqing was helped up by Qi Wangshu and Qing Yin, and then Shi Ran knelt down and said: "Erchen is willing to donate the pearls, jade, gems, and gold to the treasury to relieve the emptiness of food and grass on the front line." ”

Qi Bingyu looked at Liang Huanqing, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing down, his heart was not happy for a moment, he was silent for a while, and then said, "It's up to you." Then he walked away.

After the emperor left, Xia Rongxin arranged a soft sedan chair to come over to pick up Liang Huanqing.

The soft sedan car stopped at the door of Minghuatang, Yun Xi and Qingyin helped Liang Huanqing to walk to the side of the soft sedan chair, when passing by the courtyard of Minghuatang, Jiang Yi had already been carried away, and the blood stains they were lying there were still on the ground, Liang Huanqing saw it, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

When Qi Wangshu saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't cry, let's mourn and change." ”

Liang Huanqing naturally understands this truth, people can't be resurrected after death, but when she thought that when Jiang Yi slammed into the wall with a smile, it was like a knife piercing her heart, and for a while, she seemed to have fallen into the gloom of the abyss, unable to breathe, unable to touch the ground, just going up and down like that.

Yun Xi helped Xia Rongxin to get on the soft sedan chair, at this time it was already the second half of the night, Xia Rongxin felt that she was tired, so she gave a few words and went back to the Yichun Palace first, Qi Wangshu also promised to take care of Liang Huanqing.

Qingyin helped Liang Huanqing to walk to the soft sedan chair, and suddenly found that there was a palace maid kneeling behind the stone pier of Minghuatang, and she really couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.

As soon as the palace maid saw Princess Wangshu and Princess Jing, she hurriedly rushed out: "Slave maid Xiaolian to meet the princess and the princess." ”

Xiaolian's appearance startled them all, Qi Wangshu hurriedly stopped in front of Liang Huanqing, and after listening to her salute, he looked at her carefully: "Xiaolian? ”

Xiaolian raised her head and glanced at Qi Wangshu, which was also convenient for Qi Wangshu to look at her.

It wasn't until Qi Wangshu saw Xiaolian's full picture that he suddenly realized that she was the palace maid who was on duty in the imperial garden before: "It turned out to be you, what are you doing here so late?" ”

Xiaolian first kowtowed to Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing, then took out a piece of jade jue from her arms, lowered her head and said: "The slave is guilty, when Jiang Yi girl was looking for Yu Jue before, the slave and maid picked it up, but she didn't return it to Jiang Yi girl because of greed, and showed her a way at random... The slave and maid thought about it, and could not live up to the princess's kindness to the slave and maid, and heard that the princess and the princess were in Minghuatang, so they came here and waited. ”

Liang Huanqing saw this piece of jade, as if she saw Jiang Yi wearing this piece of jade all day long, she trembled and stretched out her hand, picked up this piece of jade, kept rubbing her hands, and hugged the jade into her arms.

She looked at Xiaolian, her voice trembling and asked, "Do you know that you were greedy and killed Jiang Yi once?" ”
